Celebrating 100 Years for the Weimaraner

The book Weimaraner Erinnerungsbuch *** 1897-1997 by Deborah Andrews, details the historic and exciting celebrations of the 100 year Anniversary of the Weimaraner Klub e.V. Breed related events hosted by the German Klub were conducted in and around Weimar, Germany from September 4th-7th, 1997.

As one of the organizers of the international gathering, Mrs. Andrews thought it appropriate to record the historic events during the 4-day jubilee. Requests were made of International Weimaraner Club Delegates and honored guests to send their comments and photos to Deborah and her colleague, Brigitta Guggolz, for the purposes of creating a Weimaraner Memory Yearbook.

The contributions to their efforts were overwhelming!!

Description:

The layout is fashioned in a Yearbook style to utilize as many photos and graphic images as possible. Since the book honors the Weimaraner Klub e.V., text will appear in English and German. Each book features a film laminated, case bound cover measuring 9 x 12, smyth sewn text, individually shrink wrapped, with page count of approximately 258; 750 to 1,000 books in the first printing will be be signed by the author.

7-Divisions:

Division One comprises historical aspects of the Weimaraner Klub e.V., as it recognizes significant breed contributors of the past and present and denotes early art subjects relating to Weimaraner beginnings.

Divisions Two through Six cover the various centenary events as they occurred throughout that early September 1997 weekend. Weimar's Lord Mayor Dr. Volkhardt Germer and Honorary President of the Weimaraner Klub e.V., Dr. Werner Petri, have contributed supporting statements to the Preface.

Division Seven covers our WCA Delegation's visit to Holland for the Dutch Weimaraner Club Championship Breed Show and Retrieving Ratings Test, September 13th and 14th, 1997. These Weimaraner Club events were scheduled to follow the weekend of the centenary celebrations in Weimar, Germany.

Many photographs, lithographs, paintings, graphics, hunting postcards and silhouettes will be utilized in the layout design. The Weimaraner Erinnerungsbuch will be a vital contribution to the Weimaraner Klub e.V. Archives located in Weimar-Königslutter, Germany.

Deborah G. Andrews is currently the Weimaraner Club of America (WCA) Liaison to the Weimaraner Klub e.V.
